Rebirth of a Movie Star

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

In his previous life Bai Lang was a small star. He rejected his boss and foolishly engaged in a relationship which he thought was true love.

He didn’t expect that he would get betrayed, die of a heart attack and trouble his boss to accompany him on his last journey.

After his rebirth, he decided to give up on true love. As for his boss… since he wants something then just let him have it.

So this little star after his rebirth collected his boss, and then it became a true love story with his boss.

In between there are good friends/love rivals/scum men in the mix. A sweet story with a happy ending.

A sensible and realistic MC and a very smooth and entertaining story. The dog blood wasn’t intense or exaggerated to high heaven and the MCs golden finger from rebirth was very sensibly done. I liked and didn’t like how some character ending were left too open and there is till some mystery regarding the ML before his rebirth that never got explained.

but it was a very enjoyable read

Light read, no major drama, no misunderstanding. I'm too lazy to write a detailed review but all I will say is you will not regret reading this novel and think this is a waste of time. I like the rationality of both the MC and ML. Plot is consistent and well-paced. Translation is good.

I really love this novel and I tell you I am not exaggerating. I assure you since I prefer just a few angst scenes added with a realistic touch.

The story started with a bit heavy and I guess, in other opinions a bit dark? Although I don't see it that way, it is just realistic. There a few characters whom you'll hate for sure. Yes, I'm sure. Like 100% sure and you have to read the novel on who are these people and witness how the main character handles his... more>> revenge.

Honestly, I really love how the main character got his revenge. Other people may feel unsatisfied but it is indeed realistic unless you want the genre to change into something really dark. HAha.

I love the interaction between the couples. They are different from the majority of the stories I read, they are the type to show love through action. No flowery words just pure action and you can feel it. It just feels amazing witnessing their love go stronger. Especially with another little dumpling, who is making their love complete.
Spoiler

Which is the male lead's son. YES! The male lead has a son but it doesn't lessen the feels of this story. I just want to tell you, just a heads up that both characters have both special ones before. Especially for the main character since that was the reason why he died. But I assure you, in the beginning, the couples have patron/benefactor relationship but eventually, it will develop in a serious relationship where they end up getting married and the main character having a son, which is the male lead son. So they are now one complete family.

[collapse]

This story has a slow romance but with such short chapters, the progress is not too slow but not too fast. Just ultimately right. As well, I'll guarantee you that you will love the strong relationship between the couples. They are indeed power couples who will support and hold on to each other no matter what.

So I tell you. Read it and you won't regret it. This is one of the novels that I keep on reading again and again. That's how much I love it. <<less

I must say the cute kid stole the show for me. I liked the family unit and cute family scenes in this book, just so cute and heart-warming. The pacing of the book was good too though the relationship starting out as a contract. ML wasn't the forceful kind and they had a very respectful relationship.

The bad guys all got their just deserves and it was a HE.

The one icky thing I kind of had a slight double take especially at the age was ... more>>
Spoiler

one of the antagonist, Su Quan, had a backer sort of relationship with this other man and that man, if I really read this correctly, is like 30 years OLDER than him? And their relationship is ya sexual? Ya I feel a bit icky about it cos Su Quan is about 30 years old so that guy is like 60 years old. Hmm. Ya.

I almost wish the extras for Qiu XiaoHan and Rong Zan were longer but otherwise a nice read. <<less

I really liked this story. It wasn't rushed and the drama and angst weren't exaggerated in a way that was annoying or anything. I liked the chemistry between the main characters, and the cute family moments were simply heart-warming. The plot, in general, was interesting, even if it's a well-used trope, it was well done.

Very Nice. We see a protagonist who isn't blinded by his past life and strives to live his current best life. It is very satisfying and the last chapter is a little heart aching.

I went back and reread this twice (the second time just the first half, which is my favorite).

I find the relationship between the leads incredibly moving. It's like watching two people save each other.

Spoiler

MC completely transforms ML's life. So much so I found it a little unbelievable that in the big reveal scene MC felt guilty about the ML's legs being damaged... Dude... Without you his son would be poisoned!

[collapse]

My only gripe about the novel is a stylistic one. There are major, important moments that are narrated in brief, "and this happened" summary. Basically it's most egregious in the one chapter with a time skip, because that time skip covered super important stuff.

After the time skip the focus shifts from the relationship to trying up loose ends of revenge, which is perfectly satisfying but not as intensely moving as the first half watching these two people form a couple like watching a planet form... So when I reread its the first half I come back to over and over. <<less

The story is very well done. I love how MC goes about life and isn't focused on revenge. He's level-headed and I love the romance that brews

I’ve re-read this story twice now. I didn’t expect to come back to it so many times, but it’s a refreshing palette cleanser if you start and stop too many stories that suck.

Its hard fo describe why I love this story so much, so I’ll try to break it down. First of all, the MC really deserved the reincarnation. He wasn’t a bed person in his past life, he just was born into a greedy family and trusted the wrong people. His plans after reincarnation weren’t elaborate revenge fantasies, he... more>> just didn’t want to make the same mistakes as before.

The romance... is both fast and a slow build.

Spoiler

MC needs a lot of money and the ML in his past life had wanted to make him his kept man, he bets on that and offers that sugar daddy/sugar baby relationship. MC is extremely pragmatic, he doesn’t harbor illusions that the generally cold ML will fall in love with him, and he doesn’t use his influence or money outside of just being favored by him. The turn in their relationship- of when the ML really starts to see how good and amazing the MC is completely realistic to0- oh and omg, them raising the son together... my heart!

[collapse]

The ML is cold but never cruel and he melts like butter as he falls in love with the MC. It’s funny to see how he basically becomes more obsessed with getting justice for MC than MC ever was. If you want a mutually strong, devoted, love story, this is it!!!

Spoilers for some of the sweetest things:

Spoiler

MC has a heart condition- that’s how he died the first time- and he doesn’t tell ML about it... when ML finds out about it, he’s angry but also so terrified- you can feel the love and helplessness he feels, and how angry he is that MC never told him.

ML almost dies due to a revenge plot, MC drops everything (just as he was becoming a star) and spends 3 years taking care of ML. This is true love!!!

[collapse]

Also, the length is perfect. It doesn’t drag on excessively and it doesn’t end abruptly. It’s the perfect length, well paced, with a satisfying, earned ending.

Bonus!

Spoiler

You also see the adorable romance between the son and his childhood friend. It’s like the cherry on top of the best sundae.

Run, don’t walk, to read this. <<less

This story is a light and easy read. Very straight to the point and quick. The plot moved at an acceptable pace. Sure there were parts that could have been emphasized on but overall it was good.

Its a must read if you like good and not overly complicated yaoi stories.

Amazing! Dog blood but not in an overbearing way; MC is really living his best life. The romance is so realistic and sweet. ML isn't an idiot or r*pe like the usual, and he genuinely starts having feelings for MC.

There's one part I especially remember; ML is mad and worried about MC, and is holding his wrist tightly and pulling him to the hospital for a checkup, and MC turns his hand around and gently squeezes it to comfort ML. It's so sweet and heartwarming. There's also a lot of... more>> familial love, and it's all very carefully and naturally built up. Blown away! <<less

Ok, I was struggling for some time trying to decide whether I should give it 4 or 3 stars.

I pretty much liked it, it is not smth really original, but I liked that MC choose a different path second time, not focusing on revenge but rather just focusing on having a better life this time and being with people who were true to him in his previous life. His choices different from the previous life changed his new life a lot and it was not like he just had the... more>> same events and people in it but with different result. No, he had a chance to live a different life and he did it.

At the same time by the end it was so focused on his ex bf from previous life that it was a little bit too much.

Other than that it was a nice and enjoyable read, very fluffy and even a little bit teary. So in danmei world I would rate it 4/5 however in general it is not more than 3. <<less

5/5 for translation and 4.5/5 for the story

The story is sweet (tho, I was depressed at the start by the too dark beginning), especially at the ending extra.

I love how there were no unnecessary misunderstanding between the main pairing. I love reading how their relationship evolved.

I especially love the cute and rather naive xiao hai and the cold but possessive xiao zan. It would be good if there is a spin off of their cute relationship in the future (//^\\)

Personally, this story is nice because it's different from all the other 'rebirth after being betrayed' type of stories. I like that the first thing our MC did was to cut all contact, no-nonsense, and then attempt to pave a way for himself (though I'm not really digging the whole 'unspoken rules' thing, it's still acceptable). I give it 5 stars for originality, well, not that original but it's stuck out to me among all the other similar type of stories. Again, personal opinion so no quoting.

Loved this! It's been a while since I read an entertainment circle BL, and this one was great. Don't know how I missed out on this one when it's already been completely translated. Translation was great, some proofreading in the later chapters would have made it perfect.

Well, I do like that the MC here was quite logical and reasonable, and isn't weak or ignorant. However, sometimes I do feel like he's still too soft to his family members and that scum KJ. I also often got annoyed by him putting... more>> himself into risky or dangerous situations and blatantly going against the ML, it seemed like he was being really willful. Esp when he didn't tell the ML about having like a life-threatening heart condition, and still going through intense exercise that almost caused him to have a heart attack. ML evolves into one of the most sticky and adorable and domineering gong's ever. Even at the beginning when we don't see much of him we still don't really see him in a bad light. He does everything with consent, through a contractual relationship. MC and ML were quite mature about it. ML also doesn't hide his feelings and openly shows his jealousy and when he loves MC and wants to be together with him. Loved the kid. Might have wanted some more backstory on who the mother was, but nothing was really ever mentioned about her. Loved the side couple of the kids. It's absolutely adorable. I think I definitely pulled out the tissues for this one. Recommend. <<less

This story is good tbh. There might be some confusing typos but it’s understandable. Not only that I’m a weak person who cry easily lol so for the Bai Lang ofc I love his character and how down to earth he is. He doesn’t sought out for revenge much after rebirth. He decided to take care of himself first and etc. Also ML and his son are so adorable that’s full of cuteness ? I love such family moments? Not only that I’m satisfied with the ending. HE ofc✨
